‘Yellen’s my girl’ and should have been reappointed

The former chief strategist to President Donald Trump and former head of Breitbart News said last year during a book interview that he would have preferred Yellen stay on to run the central bank but held his tongue as the president looked elsewhere.

“Yellen’s my girl,” Bannon told author Joshua Green in September while speaking about the book, “Devil’s Bargain: Steve Bannon, Donald Trump, and the Nationalist Uprising,” according to Bloomberg News.

Bannon has since left as head of Breitbart, the conservative news site that he helped found.

However, he told Green that the site’s principals were behind Yellen.

“The Breitbart posse is in love with Janet Yellen,” he said. “If we get behind her, that is the signal of signals — the realignment of American politics.”
